Lonely life

April 30th

Yep...it was that man again
I wanted to be polite so I just showed him a fake smile.

,,Oh come in, come in!" My aunt said all excited while I just stood in the corner of the kitchen.

My aunt led him to the room and went back to the kitchen while I was still sipping on my tea.

,,Are you alright dear? You didn't say a word to him. He might find it disrespectful you know." She said.

,,I already told you that I don't trust him" I said already annoyed.

,,Well you better get used to him" She said.
I just went back to my room and locked the door with a sigh.

The next day

April 31st

I heard my alarm and got up with a groan.
Shit the weekend is over.
I put my hair in a messy bun while I was choosing the outfit for today.

This for short hair 👇🏻

I usually don't dress like this for school/work but it's over in a month and I don't even care.
As I walked to the school I saw my best friend Emily and ran to her with a big smile.

"Emily!" I called her.

"(Y/N)? Good to see you after a long time" she said a bit disappointed because we haven't talked in days.

I'm sorry but I was too occupied with the current situation.

"I'm really sorry. But the thing is that my aunt finally sold the second floor and this man bought it and I really don't trust him, he kinda scares me." I told her and her espression seems to soften.

"It's ok but don't do it again" She said and we walked to school together.

~Time skip~

The classes are finally over and I can go home.
I was packing my things and saw a man in a car through the window.
No way...
It was that man again. What if he is waiting for me? My anxiety built up and I walked out of the school trying to relax....
I just walked past the car pretending that I don't see him.

"(Y/N)!" I heard him calling my name and I froze in place.

"Your aunt told me to pick you up from school" He said with that smile...but not gonna lie he had a nice smile.

Wait (Y/N) the hell are you thinking

"Sure just let me call my aunt for a second" I called my aunt to ask her if it's true.

"Oh yes dear Liam will pick you up from school" My aunt said all excited everytime she says his name...weird

"Ok thanks" I said with no emotion

"And I won't be home by 19:00 my friend got into an accident...again" She said

"Then I'll call you later, bye" I said and Liam opened the car door for me.

He is a gentleman but I don't fall for that like my aunt does.

I looked out the window and didn't say a word the whole ride.
We arrived at home and I opened the car door but tripped on my shoe lace and began to fall. Then I felt a strong pair of arms catch me. I froze in place with wide eyes and shaky breath. My heart raced like mad.
He smiled lightly and pulled me back to my feet.

"You need to be more careful next time" He said jokingly still smiling.

"Oh, um, yeah sure" I said still nervous.
W

ait...Next time?

I walked back into my house and to my room.

Why do bad things always happen to me???

I covered my face with my hands still feeling embarrassed.

But the feeling of his arms around my waist wasn't bad.

I went back to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. And of course he has to be there. I mean I know this also his house, well half, but I can't help but feel uncomfortable around him.
I just took a glass of water and went back to my room when I hear his voice.

" Why do you hate me?" He said

"I don't hate you I'm just not used to having someone else in the house beside my aunt.
That was a lie...

"Come sit down" He said.
I was very nervous but still went back to the kitchen.

"What did you want to talk about?" I said with an emotionless expression.

"I know I'm making you feel uncomfortable...."
How? How did he know

I didn't say anything

"You're not the first one to feel that way, but I hope that we can become great friends"
Again. that. stupid. smile.

I just smiled in response and nodded.
Then went to my room and didn't notice that I was holding my breath the whole time. That's how nervous I was...
It will be hard living with him...
